Printing a Single Signature

When printing a book made with folded paper, Indesign has the function to set pages in the right order. The instructions below will help you print your booklet directly to the HR Printers. To print on the Cannon, please use our PDF exporting instructions.
Please be aware that your document should have a total page count that is dividable by 4. This is because a single sheet of paper that is folded in half, has 4 pages on it.

You can print a booklet also from Acrobat. This disadvantage is that pages will not touch each other in the spine, but there will be a gap. So only do this when there are no full page photo's in your design.
In Indesign you will not have this gap.

In this example you print directly from InDesign. This file has a total of 24 pages.


1. Step one
